Name
Dragonja Vas was first attested in early sources as Zdragona or Sdragona (between 1763 and 1787). The name is derived from a Slavic personal name, either from *Dragon’a vьsь 'Dragonъ's village' or (with dialect -o- < -a-) from *Dragan’a vьsь 'Draganъ's village'. In either case, both personal names are based on the root *dôrgъ 'dear'.
